How far religious teachings aud reli-
glous exercises should be made REGULAR
part Of the instruction IN the public
schools has long been vcXed question.
There Is an active revival Of the discus
sion arising IN part from very striking
posthumous article by the late Rev. Ar
chibald Alexander Hodge, published in
the Nee Princeton Rcrjciu. This arti-
Gle, entitled Religion in the Public
Schools" treats the subject broadly and
forcibly, and while not being in any sense
sectarian or alarmist production, re
yeals state of affairs which may well
arouse concern in the public mind.
DIR. Hodge asserts that the tendency is
to eXpurgate from the text books in use
IN the schools every theistic or Christian
reference. As an illustration he
points out the fact that while the school
readers of former times We're full of eX-
tracts from the best Christian classics
these have been now everywhere suppressed
ed by readers embracing only secular
non-rcllgioHs matter A somewhat start
Ing statement is that Guyut's well known
system of Biographies was rel ct,d 10y the
school board of Chicago, ILL.,, after "a
year TRIAL, because IueSe text Docks
recognized the existence of God. Dr.
Hodge quotes an eminent college presi-
Gent as writing him II sent my Political
Economy, prepared for use in high schools
and academies, to one of our State Super
lntendents of Education. but it was re
turned to me with the note that its first
sentence condemned it for use in public
schools. The first sentence was: "The
source OF all wealth is the beneficence of
God"
These and similar facts indicate an un.
due pandering to skeptical and material
lstlc sentiment, on the part of DO trds of
education and school commissioners. 1t
may be that this was the result of reac-
ton from bigotry. But if it is reaction,
the pendulum has swung too far the
other way In the endeavor to exclude all
sectarianism from our public schools, the
danger of atheistical teachingand influence
has been overlooked and the latter is GER
tainly greater evil than the former. The
common schools should not be sectarian,
but neither should they be Goddess.

There are already prophecies, both
gloomy and assuring, rs to the probable
effect or the Interstate traffic law on the
vast amount OF business which is trans
acted by rail between the East and the
West. Those who take the gloomy view
assert that there will be an immediate in
crease in freight rates on all the great
through lines, and that an almost iusuper-
able hiudrance will be interposed to the
development of the West and Southwest
lhey say that all railroad enterprises Will
be checked, and that the material prosper
lty OF the whole country will be affected
The practical benefits of the law will
doubtless depend in large measure on the
spirit in which the railroad corporations
accept the measure. If they attempt TO
thwart its operation, the law may work
adversely to the interests of both the peo-
pie and the railroads But if the rail
roads eudeayor to conform 10 its spirit
ana purpose, recognizing the rightful au-
lhmltl OF Congress in the matter. why
should not this law be the first step
toward that judicious and symmetrical
regulation of inter state commerce which
all admit to be greatly needed.
II Is a matter of Generalization that the
action of Congress ON the bill was wholly
bipartisan. Neither party can be
charged with having originated on fos-
tered the measure. 1t was passed in com
pliance with distinct popular demand :
and the overwhelming vote in favor of
the bill in the House of Representatives
2l9 to 4l-showed that it was demand
which neither party dared resist Let the
railroad corporations recognize the same
demand, and rearrange their rates upon
basis which shall do justice to all sections
and all classes of the customers of the
roads, and the result may be of incalcu
liable benefit to the people at large.

che method for reducing the surplus
appears in the bill presented by Senator
Sherman, to reimburse the depostors in
the old Freedman's Savings bank. Many
of our readers doubtless remember the un-
fortunate chapter in the history of the
freedmen, connected with the failure of
this bank. The institution was estab
llshed Immediately after the war, to af
ford an opportunity for the freedmen
to deposit their scanty earnings under the
protection of the government, where they
would be safe and available, OF course,
the bank was supposed to be perfect
ly solid, and large numbers of the freed
men entrusted all they had to It, 1t was
crushing blow to the depositors when
the bank collapsed, and not one of
them has to this day received back a cent,

1t is well to look upon both sides of
every question. There may be some real
claim for sympathy in behalf of the Irish
landlords. A Dublin despatch says that
Mr.. Roe, the owner of land, the yearly
rental of which amounts to E600, has been
compelled to seek admission to the XII
larney workhouse, having been unable to
get money from either trustees or ten
ants.
